what's the difference between gonorrhea and a bar in Pattaya? You can get rid of gonorrhea.

"The Old Days were better" - Socrates

i apologize, I quoted the wrong post.

I am not suggesting that all bars in Pattaya are doomed. The purpose of this topic is to list bars that have closed, or are for sale. If you want to talk about busy bars, please start your own topic.

I am so sorry the title of this topic offends you. I will try to do better next time. Meanwhile, another bar is for sale.

This topic does not imply that Pattaya is dying, or why any particular bar has closed. It is merely a listing of bars that have closed, or are for sale. FWIW, I expect the upcoming High Season to be the busiest ever.

Death watch for specific bars, not the Pattaya scene.

Great. You can create a topic called "Bars Not For Sale". But this topic is about bars that have closed or are for sale.

This topic isn't about why bars close, it is just a listing of bars that close, for whatever reason.

A new bar seems to open every day on Soi Chaiyapoon. This is not a "Pattaya is dying" topic, it's just about bars that are closed or for sale. Even in High Season, some bars close.

Exactly why this topic was created.

MILF bar on Soi Chaiyapoon is for sale.

Paparazzi bar on Soi Honey is for sale.

This topic is specifically about bars that have closed, or are up for sale. I saw a good number around Soi Buakhow yesterday.

i own a lot of US stocks, and was thinking of transferring some to a Thai lady. I know that requires her to have a US Tax ID, but what are the other requirements for a Thai citizen to own US stocks?

If they force everyone re-applying for a non-O visa to go home to re-apply, there will be a reaction.

This is done every 2 years.

Correct. Just like there are differences between the Shan and Thai languages, but after a few days, a Thai speaker should be able to understand some Shan.

According to Wikipedia, the majority in Mae Hong Son province are now Shan speakers, refugees from the Shan state. The Shan language diverged from Thai maybe 1,000 years ago, maybe more, about the time that Polish diverged from Russia. So, the grammer is probably similar, and there are many words in common, but a lot of differences. Having suffered through Spanish/Portuguese and Russian/Ukrainian, I can relate. When going to Brazil, the first day or two, I can't understand anything, even though I am fluent in Spanish. A couple of days more, and I can get by in the local language.

The older models were so-so, the newer 18+ models are decent, and cordless.

Farangs tend to think of people living in Myanmar as Burmese and thus mostly illegal immigrants here who can't speak Thai. But there are 5 million Tai speaking people living in the Shan state just north of Thailand in Myanmar. Without knowing the history, one would think of the Shan state as just a part of Thailand that was separated for one reason or another, but that's not the case. The Tai people in the Shan state came from China, as did the Thai people, but much later than the Thais, and they didn't pass through Laos or Thailand, they came south from China with the Mongols (Kublai Khan), entered central Burma, and then were tasked with conquering Northeast Burma for the Mongols. So, even though they originated in the same areas of China as the Thai people, they have no common history, after the Thai departure from China. Despite that, Thailand conquered the Shan state during WWII, because they could (Britain held colonial oversight over Burma before WWII, but Japan mostly dislodged them during the war). The end of WWII forced Thailand to return the Shan state, and as far as I know, there is no longer any interest in Thailand in reunification. There is a civil war in Myanmar now, and some rebels express interest in a free Tai state. Any insights you may have in the Shan state would be appreciated.

I go with Ryobi, which seems to be entering the Thailand market just now.

Some bar girls dream of marrying a Farang, but often times the dream becomes a nightmare. If the Farang is young, money may be tight, and after a long marriage, the lady may find herself back in the bar, older and poorer. If the Farang is old, he may be smart enough to avoid showering the lady with cash and gold, and when the relationship ends, she may have to go back to the bar. I have seen these scenarios many times. Especially in the case of old Farang husbands, the lady may become very frustrated that she is trapped in a marriage and not rolling in cash. This frustration can play out many ways, none good.

Mine used to be higher, but has dropped considerably after reading this topic.

You are woefully misinformed. Ever heard of Ada Babbage? Did you know that the term "computer bugs" was invented by a woman? There is a movie waiting for you called "Hidden Figures". You may think the term "woke" is funny, but the flip side is funnier: "ignorant".
